...Venerable Which Then Minh. On January 26, Dan toc and several other Saigon newspapers, reported that on the preceding day, during the Celebration of the Anniversary of Buddha's Enlightenment, Thich Thien Minh had declared that the Buddhist Church should stand in the middle, not leaning to one side or the other in the conflict, and that after the Vietnamese New Year there would be a number of ceremonies to pray for peace. Since the South Vietnamese government equates neutralism with communism and considers those who talk of peace as communist lackeys, it is no wonder that Thich Thien Minh...
...BEFORE campus liberals get too cocky, they should listen to the alarming noises coming from the other side of San Francisco Bay. The inevitable showdown looming at Berkeley and the other University of California campuses poses a far more fundamental threat to university liberty than Hayakawa and his policemen ever made. At worst, Hayakawa threatened to clamp down on students' right to dissent; at best, Ronald Reagan and his Board of Regents are trying to destroy basic rights of academic and intellectual independence...
...centers even if their everyday behavior seems tightly organized and compulsively conformist. The simple fact that most of us have genes and cultural traits acquired somewhere else than in America necessitates a fence-straddling approach to national identity.

Philip Roth, on the other hand, has attempted to bring us back to the boat while we sit, stagnant, in America and has superbly evoked our confusion about cultural identity...
...radical thought itself--as expressed in underground newspapers and other literature--has distinctly middle-class roots and oppressively middle-class problems. Everything that radicalism has run to has had a middle-class ogre at the other side of the room. The hippie counter-culture is only a step-by-step pursuit of opposites, rather than a one-step approach to novelty. So, if we are basically middle-class in our concerns, I would suggest that we have to define, concretize, and mitigate those concerns before we can hope to wander further afield in any direction...
...going to save us, and there can be no talk of violent revolution from within while the government continues to control the instruments of violence. The second fact is that the radical solution, in whatever precise form it eventually comes to be presented, has common sense on its side. It is possible to demonstrate the enormous social costs of modern capitalism. The need for change can be clearly shown to people. This does not mean that these things will be done. I am merely suggesting that we should begin by assuming that change is not impossible, that there are alternatives...
